John M. Glover and Judge Henry ID.
Laughlin, one of the most prominent
attorneys in st. Louis, were tue central
figures in little sensation to-day that
threatens serious consequences. Il. ID.
Lancaster, surveyor of the port, is suing
Glover for 100000 for alleged libel.
Gloveris taking dispositions to show Lam
casters character The taking of depo-
sitions has been progressing several
days, and exciting personal episodes
have enliyened the proceedings. Judge
Laughlin is Of theeounselfor Lancaster.
Glover objected to Laughlin's way of
handling n witness, and Laughlin re-
scented the conduct and words of the
Congressman. Hot words ensued and
both men sprung to their feet. The
referee before whom tine case is pro-
coeding got between them and pre-
vented q fight. AT the close OF the days
session Glover said he had used
harsh language and was willing 10
withdraw the epithets he had applied to
Laughlin if the latter would do the
same. 81 am willing to go half
way" he said. "Ill have no halt
way business" said Laughlin. "You
are the aggrcssor, and must apologize
fully" "l1l see you further" said
Glover. "You will see me further, "
said Laughlin, "and hear from me. "
It is thought by those who. know
both men that Laughliu, who is known
to be man Of nerve and an expert
with the pistol, will compel Glover to
make full apology or meet him in
mortal combat.

ACALIFORNEA TRAGEDY.
a Chinese Cooks MurderOus Assault
on Family of Women.

by Telegraph 10 the DlSpdtcu.I
CHIco, CAL, April S.-The details of
the murder of Mrs. Joseph Billion by
her Chinese cook show that the muir
der was most cold-blooded, and only
equalled in atrocity by the murder OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Arckershaw, of Sonoma
county, about year ago by a Chinese
cook.
Mrs. Billion, her two daughters, and
a farm employee, W. II. Weaver, were
Mt supper, when the door opened sud-
denly and Il shotw fired from a rifle
by Hoah Henry, the Chinese cook.
The bullet passed through Viewers
left shoulder just over the heart and he
fell PROSTATE. Mrs. Billion turned TO
see whence the shot came and
received a bullet, which pierced her
heart and caused instant death.
Weaver, Notwithstanding his serious
condition, managed to shut the door
and ba1icade it. The Chinaman fired
q shot through the closed door, but
without effect. He then procured an
axe, but after partly breaking the door
changed his mind and left the house.
annie Billion went to the door
TO note the direction of the
murderer's fight, but q shot from
the Chinaman's rifle caused her to
again barricade the door. The muir
derer then disappeared. Meanwhile
the other daughter succeeded in leaving
the house unobserved by the Chineman
and gave the alarm at st. John, distant
q little over a mile from the Billion
rancho. Pursuit, which was immedi-
ately organized, has not yet proved

IIeiryi,iD TO u Dead Miser.

4 Little Rock telegram says James
Barney, OF Benton county, was found
to be dying alone in his log-cabin on
Monday. lie was taken to the house
of neighbor, where he died on Tues
day. About fifteen years ago Barney
came to Benton county and took up his
abode in an old, tumble-down logcabin
where he has lived ever since. The howell
is furnished with box of straw for n
bed, the covering consisting of piece
of an old blanket. One small skillet
was his only cooking utensil. No cup,
saucer, knife, or fork could be found in
the house. Wrapped in a bundle of
rags S400 was found, also mortgages on
real estate amounting to $1,000. Over
200 cigars were sticking in n crack of
the cabin. These had been given to
him at different times.
Barney was man of good educa-
ton, and could talk on almost any sub
ject, but he rarely ever talked of him
self or his history. From papers
found in the house it is believed that
he came from Pennsylvania, and he
once told a neighbor that he had a
sister living in New York. He left no
will, although he was interested largely
in mining, as well as being chief owner
of stock ranch in one of the western
Territories.

CHICAGO, April s.--Since the pro-
rating arrangements between the West
ern and Eastern lines on freight from
the seaboard TO the Missouri river and
beyond was declared off larger por-
ton of that traffic has been diverted
away from Chicago and through st.
Louis, the rates to Kansas City Oelns
from 2 to 8 cents lower Via st. Louis.
1t is understood that early next week
the Chicago and Kansas City road Wi
issue new freight tariff which will
equalize rates ria both citiesand stopthe
diversion of traffic away from Chicago.
CHICAGO, April S.--The general pas
senger agent of the Pennsylvania com
pany has sent private and confidential
letter to the general passenger agent.
of the western lines stating that his
road had only temporarily agreed to
the allowance of differeDtial passenger
rates TO weak lines east of Chicago and
st. Louis, and that his company would
claim that any road selling through
tickets at rate higher than an
other road was guilty of discrimination.
Under the interstate law he asks the
views of western passenger agents on
the matter. The move is understood
TO be one to deprive the Chicago and
Gmnd Trunk and other lines OF the
privilege of making a rate to the sea-
board of $3.50 less than the strong
lines as now agreed to.
A move is on foot to send on from
this city protest of leading merchants
and shippers against the action OF the
Interstate Commission in suspending
the operation of the long and short
haul clause at various points. The
special grievance here is that the sus-
pension affects the route across the
lakes from Milwaukee.
The Michigan Central road will to-
morrow issue circular boycotting
twenty five roads upon which the trunk
lines have placed their ban, and all
through tickets over western lines will
be taken off sale. The Chicago roads
exempted from the boycott are
the Northwestern, Illinois Central,
Milwaukee and ct. Paul. All OF
the roads leading to Kansas City
are barred so that traveller
from the East cannot buy through
ticket TO that point. As the Lake
Shore joined the boycott to-day the
Baltimore and Ohio and Grand Trunk
are now the only seaboard lines which
are not turning western tickets to the
wall. Neither side show any signs OF
yielding, and the boycott will probably
continue until the matter is brought
before the Interstate Commission.

MrDDLErowN, N. Y, April S.-The
village Of Cochecton, Sullivan county,
is again flooded, for the fourth time this
year. The warrd weather and rain
Monday night made high water in the
Delaware river. On Tuesday afternoon
the water was running over Cochecton
fats, and at midnight had reached
the Presbyterian church, where the
stream divided, a portion taking the
main highway and the balance pouring
through the village streets. Stores and
dwellings were inundated to the depth
of three feet. The ice in the riyer-bed
remaus frozen, preventing the water
taking the natural channel. Two farms
below Cochecton have been washed ont.
here IS no communication between
tie railroad in Cochecton and the
bridge over the Delaware except by
boats. A number OF boats have been
wedged in the ice and many have mar
rouly escaped being swept away.

ANOTHER BIG DEAL.
rho West Point Terminal Syndicate
Making Another Move.

Special telegram to the Dispatch.l
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, April S.-One OF
the biggest railroad deals ever entered
into in the Southeast is on the tapis.
a rumor, apparently well founded. is
ahoat that the Richmond Terminal
syndicate are negotiating for the pur-
chase of the Georgia Central, Of
Georgia, and the Florida Railway and
Navigation Company's system of Flor
ida roads. For the past few days
there has been a significant gath
ering of leading railroad-men in
terested in these lines at Savannah.
Among them were John G. Calhoun, OF
New York, who took a leading part in
the Alexander scoop of the Georgia
Central lastJanuary also, his brother,
Patrick Calhoun, of Atlanta ; G. IL.
Phinizy and Uriah b. Harold, direc-
tors of the Central, and Isaac l.. Rice,
of.New York, q large holder of Central
stock, and said also to be interested in
the Richmond Terminal. The price
paid for the Florida road is said to be
$4,000 per mile. There are $50 miles
in the system. These rumors are fur
ther substantiated by the fact that
Austin Corbin, who is said to
be interested in the Richmond
Terminal syndicate was recently here
and went over the entire line
of the system in company with Receiver
Duval. The Richmond Terminal now
owns the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia, and if it has captured the
Florida system will have a direct line
into Florida with the exception OF a
seyenty-mile gap between Jessup, Ga,
and the nearest connection with the
Florida system.

islands from Hayti in default OF a debt,
vet an investigation is being made and
all of the data relating to the subject
in possession of the department is be-
ing collected. The English claim ap-
pears to be very intricate in its nature.
The correspondence had during Mr..
Frelinghuysen's administration shows
that the claim is an individual one
based upon a number of cessions, sub
cessions, and contracts regarding pr
vilege TO cut mahogany that was moi
cut, or at least not in sufficient guam
tity. The amount of the claim during
Secretary Frelinghuysen's administra'
ton was placed at $500, 600.

my tolegrapn 10 inc DlSphcD.l
WASHINGTON, d. g., April 8.-The
commissioners of the District of Co.
lumbia have decided to revive the blue
laws on Sunday next, and to prevent
the opening of any places of business
except apothecary-shops and under
taking establishments. While the com
misssbners were going through the
District laws recently in order to see
which of them should he incorporated
in the new police regulations authorized
to be issued by the last Congress,
they discovered an old and obsolete
law directing the closingof ALI business
places except those of druggists, under
takers, and BARRIERS. A subsequent
law closed the barber shops, so that
only the two former are authorized to
remain open. The commissioners are de
termined to enforce the law, and on next
Sunday oil news stands. cigar stores,
ice-cream saloons, confectioneries, and
possibly even ch-houses. will be
forced to shut up shop. 1t is expected
that test case will be made by some
dealers almost Immediately. While the
commissioners do not state such to b.
the case, their action is believed to be
the outcome of the enforcement of the
law against Sunday hquorselling. This
law has been enforced the last two
Sundays, and has proved remarkably
successful, owing 20 the provision
making the second conviction for its
violation work the forfeiture of license.

strike Troubles In Chicago.


CHICAGO, April Sights between
strikers and imported carpenters oc-
Cured in many parts of the city to-day.
The strikers in almost every case man
aged to elude the police. Non-union
men were compelled to quit work IN
number of instances, especially i'll the
outskirts of the city. Nine strikers
were arrested at the corner of jackson
and Clinton streets, where they at
tempted to induce the men to quit
work. No violence had occurred, and
the prisoners claim that their arrest
was wholly unwarrantable. Shots were
exchanged between policemen and
strikers near Humboldt Park. "Scabs
were found at work by one of our com
mittees," said President Kliyer, of the
Carpenters Council. "They we're re-
quested TO quit. Suddenly patrol
wagon loaded with policemen came,
and fring began on both sides. Shots
were fred in the dir and nobody was
arrested.
